CED’s Policy Backgrounders provide timely insights on prominent business and economic policy issues facing the nation.
Crimea became an increased focus of the war this week, with explosions at an ammunition depot there, disrupting rail service. In presumed retaliation for the attack, which Ukraine has not claimed, Russian rockets struck the ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv. Ukraine claimed that it had not lost any High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) of the 20 the US has provided, rejecting Russian claims to the contrary. Ukraine claimed the war has reached a “strategic deadlock” as Russian advances have slowed. On Thursday, Russia announced that it has deployed Kinzhal hypersonic missiles to the Kaliningrad enclave. Ukraine published its estimates of Russian losses (44,300), with most casualties concentrated among soldiers from poorer regions of Russia rather than Moscow or St. Petersburg. Estonia removed a Soviet-era monument from a predominantly Russian-speaking region and was hit with a cyberattack in response.
